I listen to stations on the net all the time but soon these music services will be asking you to pay. So if you feel your sole purpose in life is to fund someone’s kid’s hummer, then by all means pay some money. If not:

Colorful language aside, having to deal with Houston crack heads on trucks speeding by me creating tidal waves, crack heads at Lez Zep and Double Trouble (minus Vaughn) concert, having to cancel my birthday plans three times now, replacing tires on my car and crashing my computer…all I can do is clap like I broke dishes. But hey, Wordpress is updated and running…I am still tinkering with it so I plan to do a follow up post schedule to come out later this month. So as I sit on a lovely Friday night loading and organizing my desktop, what have I learned from this experience: ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR DATA!! Thanks to Flaquis for all his help and the folks at Latino Internet Cafe who were able to save 5 DVDs of my data…lots of love!!!
My late Birthday Party on the 9th of August, look forward to some more info .
Windows can go and….yeah, well, add a purchase of office to that list and a prayer that it wont be another lock and loaded night in front of my screen….DUDE!
Swimming Way Out of my Element, HELP II

okay, so I went through and very thoroughly back up my sql, but then came step three: ftp back up. So here is my question: if I already exported my content through WP on line, zipped my sql over to my hard drive in different versions, do I still have to do it through my ftp program? Also, this Synchback program is $30, is it worth its money? Should I be switching from my Core Lite to FileZilla? Last question, is it really necessary to delete old word press files…don’t they just update automatically? Please read instructions below or go to http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress. Bang, bang, duuu bu duuu…AAAAGH! (Please let me know if you can see something weird on the website.)
